In their words
- “Because nobody understood that you could make a movie that was both funny and scary. And John will always maintain that this is a horror film. It's not a horror comedy. It's scary and it's funny. There's no two ways about it.” [24:23] An American Werewolf in London (1981)
- “John knew from the moment he wrote the script that he was going to use Sam Cooke's Blue Moon because he didn't want the transformation to be a scary moment. He wanted it to be painful and sad and melancholic.” [47:57] An American Werewolf in London (1981)
- “And the whole thing had to be done in two minutes because they weren't allowed to stop traffic. All they could do was slow down traffic. And it's just unbelievable the amount that they got done.” [1:29:58] An American Werewolf in London (1981)
